Breast heaviness/tenderness

Hi Everyone 

i feel stupid even being on here as i know its probably nothing.

Last week i had pain in my left breast which felt like bruising and slight discolouration above nipple area.

i thought it was just one of those things but my left side just didn’t feel right and heavy and tender when banged or touched

then I thought i felt a slight lump/lumpiness above nipple yo the left

so made an appointment with gp.

she said my left breast was bigger than right but that is not unusual

she said the left side was tender and something was def different to the right 

she referred me to breast clinic but said not to worry as prob nothing 

I have an appointment on Monday for mammogram 

ive tried not to worry and when i feel it now i think it feels normal apart from tender

Any advice for the next few days would be appreciated before mammogram and do you normally get results same day

not sure if related but im extremely tired to the point of exhaustion 

im 53 had full hysterectomy when i was 37 so no periods etc and on hrt

thanks in advance 

Nicola

  • Hiya just got back 

    all ok i think

    radiographer said will be seen in breast clinic regardless of results anytime from now up to 6 weeks

    so did ask is longer the wait good news

    she said i suppose so.

    I did say i had has a week of sleepless nights so she did look at scan and said there was something different on one side but could be gladular or a cyst
